Bylaw Updates

At the Annual Meeting, the Conservancy’s membership will be asked to vote on changes to the organization’s over-50-year-old articles of incorporation, which would allow the organization to transition into a modern nonprofit form, giving the Conservancy’s Board of Directors and Governance Committee the power to change the organization’s bylaws and elect directors. If you would like to know more or ask questions before the meeting, please reach out to Kate Gonick, Senior VP of Land Protection & General Counsel, at kgonick@lancasterconservancy.org or Phil Wenger, President & CEO, at pwenger@lancasterconservancy.org.
